Chapter 185

Elizabeth whispered, “I’ll pay you ten times the fee, just let me go!”

The man hesitated. “Ten times… how much is that?” he mumbled.

“It doesn’t matter. The Percy family isn’t short on cash!” Elizabeth said seriously.

The guy in the passenger seat turned to her and said calmly, “We’re not interested in money. We’re interested in you.”

“Nice price,” Elizabeth chuckled.

“Rare to see a patch pearl so sharp,” he said, glancing at it. “Too bad you’re going to…”

Before Elizabeth could respond, they gazed at her again.

“Deep. When you wake up, you’ll be somewhere else. We’re pros; you won’t suffer,” the passenger said, yawning.

The guy next to him nodded, smiling. “Ms. Perry, trust us. No suffering!”

The car went quiet.

Elizabeth stayed calm, guessing they’d been watching her for days. Probably Esme’s people. The beach was three hours away. It was too late, yet they insisted on throwing her into the sea. Only Esme would kill her this way, because Esme knew she had been afraid of water ever since she saved Alexander.

Elizabeth moved her hands behind her back, but the guy next to her snapped, “Behave!”

She lowered her head, trying to send her location to Felix. The car left the city, and by 10 PM, traffic thinned out. Beth looked out the window, hearing snores around her. Except for the driver and the guy next to her, only the driver and the guy next to her were awake. She wriggled her wrists free from the loose ropes, as she’d learned to untie knots.

The guy next to her was dozing. Elizabeth pulled out her needles from her sleeve and silently pricked his neck. He frowned, touched his neck, and looked at Elizabeth, who pretended to sleep.

“La temput,” he muttered, barely audible. Within seconds, he was unconscious. Elizabeth then used the needles on the man in the back, knocking him out.

An able-bodied man, the leader in the passenger seat, woke up. Seeing her hand, he shouted, “You!”

Elizabeth stabbed him with a needle, but the driver evaded it, making them swerve wildly. Elizabeth quickly tried to open the door and jump out. The window rolled down, and she half-leaped out. The leader grabbed her.

“Ms. Perry, we’re just doing a job. Don’t make it hard for us,” he said.

“Maybe it’s you who should worry,” Elizabeth retorted.
